Don’t forget folks, in this heat, keep your dogs out of the heat walk them early walk them late but not in the day. Remember, our furry friends don’t have the option of taking off their fur Coates.

Say no to this insane idea

[Vincent Stops @VincentStops]

From parliamentary answers we now know the government has no evidence floating bus stops improve cycle safety nor do they have any data on cyclist injuries associated with bus stops. The case for excluding blind people from bus services is pretty thin to non-existent.

@Jenny_1884 We are all slowly becoming visually impaired! 🥲

[Suffolk GuideDog & V I Forum @SuffolkGDForum]

We agree

[Vincent Stops @VincentStops]

No pedestrians should be subject to this. Introducing wheeled vehicles onto the pavement has been one of the stupidest public policies you could think of.

[Suffolk GuideDog & V I Forum @SuffolkGDForum]

@InclusiveBuild @Seaofchangefilm The most idiotic idea ever and all in the name of safety? We don’t think so.

@ITV Corridale, what’s happened to the audio description? No idea what’s going on because there’s no audio description, thanks a lot.

@billykayscot Henry, indestructible!

@JennyGi79601132 @BBC Well done Jenni, would you like a wet flannel to wipe that egg off your face? LOL.

Will you sign this petition from @gdcampaigns? We're calling for a pause on hazardous bus stop designs that put people with sight loss in harm's way. https://t.co/ewUFv43pgM

Many firework displays will be happening over the weekend and this time of year can be very unsettling for dogs 🎇🐶

The loud noises and flashing lights from fireworks can cause your dog distress, so we have put together some top tips for keeping them relaxed and happy.

@flickhwilliams @Seaofchangefilm @Tesco More and more marginalisation for people without sight, dreadful

[Suffolk GuideDog & V I Forum @SuffolkGDForum]

@seandilleyNEWS Maybe the guide dog should apply for the job and put down on the application and then it will be bringing a human with it to feed and water them during the day?

[Sean Dilley NEWS @seandilleyNEWS]

Help me out. How do you describe what task a GUIDE DOG performs for a user when you are explicitly told you can't disclose your disability? Real question on an official form apparently not allowed to say you are blind? Suggestions? :-)

@VincentStops @willnorman We have to deal with many Muppet road users on a daily basis who just don’t know how to do the right thing, it really does induce anxiety when you are nearly moaned down on a zebra crossing or a junction due to the lack of understanding of some motorist

@VincentStops @Heidi_Labour @LordChrisHolmes @danielmgmoylan @LilianGreenwood @StevenJNorris @EllyBakerAM @andrewellson It was always a case that only an idiot could’ve come up with such a flawed idea such as this.

[Guide Dogs Campaigns @gdcampaigns]

Thank you @Alison_McGovern for taking the time to speak to Jess (and guide dog Pebble) 🦮 #Lab25

@Keir_Starmer You do keep going on about the working people, what about the voluntary workers that keep many charities and good causes going? We all have a part to play in our countries economy but voluntary workers seem to be forgotten in all this.

@RNLI just watching saving lives at sea, what a wonderful organisation you are, fearless and so selfless in helping others in peril at sea

[Suffolk GuideDog & V I Forum @SuffolkGDForum]

@jackabbott90 Still no audio description for visually impaired people at the council run Regent Theatre though. #Let’sAccessIpswich.

[Suffolk GuideDog & V I Forum @SuffolkGDForum]

Just reading online that Liverpool FC have paid £130 million to sign a football player, just think of all the guide dog partnerships that could supply? It’s ridiculous!
